Research progress in the clearance mechanism of platelets stored at 4℃ / 中国输血杂志

Platelets transfusion is one of the most important methods to prevent and treat hemorrhagic diseases.At present, the vitro storage of platelets with gentle agitation at (22±2)℃ is short and susceptible to bacterial contamination, which greatly affects the availability and safety of clinical platelets transfusion.Studies at home and abroad have shown that storage at 4°C could prolong the preservation period of platelets.However, refrigeration may aggravate platelets storage lesion (PSL) and accelerate the clearance mechanism after transfusion, which seriously restricts the clinical application of refrigerated platelets.This paper reviews the research advances in PSL caused by 4℃ storage and the clearance mechanism after transfusion.
